I'm kinda surprised at this new update/version I was always under the impression that this new Aces High would be at the bare minium the equal of the old Aces High in a graphics sense and could then be adjusted to higher end and lower end machines. Now it seems a lot of people have to upgrade video cards to even get out of the blocky type graphics. The line seems to be yeah your graphics card is really low end in my case I got told it was worth $3 and the cheapest available to man 
which is all well and good but it did display the old graphics perfectly well despite its cheapness!
This pretty much spells the death note for me in Aces High at this moment in time moneys too tight to justify flying around in substandard graphics with no perception of depth (I've lost count of the number of times I've augered) the graphics on Falcon on my old atari st are better than what I have at the minute.
Sorry for the whine, but I think its expecting too much to expect people to buy a new video card or live with substandard late 1980s graphics especially when the old card worked just fine. 
i took up r/c planes. figured it'd be cheap. not so. i own 10 planes, 3 helis, and 3 trucks.
i took up archery. figured it's be cheap. not so. i own 2 hoyt bows, a surelock target sight, a 5 pin hunting site, cases for both bows, 3 or 4 dozen arrows, and fletching equipment.
i took up ah. figured it'd be cheap. it is. i fly it on the same computer i do everything else on at home. all i had to invest in was a used stick, pedals, and throttle(all ch). it only costs me 50 cents a day. much cheaper than my other hobbies.
